Comfy room at a great price and very close to Dickson shops.

John was a fabulous host, he really made us feel at home. It was a perfect spot for us to stay while visiting relatives in Canberra. Close the the main sites as well.

John was an excellent host, very friendly and very prompt with his communication if we had any questions. The house is very close to a shopping centre and a short drive to most of Canberra's attractions

We had a wonderful stay at Amit's place, who was very helpful and flexible with our arrival, and made us feel very welcome! The room was comfortable, clean and spacious, and in a peaceful, chill location (with the friendliest dog!). Thank you for the breakfast and the great stay :)

Amit is a friendly and open host, perfect location for what I needed. 5min stroll to shops and cafes with parks and open spaces nearby.

Robert2017-05-23T00:00:00Z

We arrived late to Amit's place because of traffic, but he was accommodating and friendly despite us inconveniencing him. The room is large and bright, and the bed is gigantic and super comfortable. We didn't get to interact much with Amit because of our late arrival and him leaving for work before we got up in the morning, but he left us out a simple but lovely breakfast. Would definitely stay again!

Garden cottage separate from main house.
Situated in quiet, street in Downer,near 3 bus routes, close to bike path, 5 min walk to Dickson shopping area, and pool. Near EPIC for Folk Festival.Gay friendly. Very close to road in from Sydney and from Barton Highway ( Melbourne road)

Cute, cosy, clean, comfortable little space (about 30 sq metres)with one double bed.Deciduous trees, insulation and double glazing keep it cool in summer . The cottage is north facing and the deciduous trees lose all their leaves so the sun streams in in winter. The cottage is very comfy but certainly not anything flash or trendy. If you expect a modern, classy unit you won't like it.

Quiet, short (only 26 houses) tree lined street with easy parking. Over 20 restaurants and cafes 5 minute walk away. Bus timetables, maps and restaurant menus available in my guest folders. Please park directly in front of my house, on my side of the road. That will keep the neighbours happy.

Meg was lovely and met me on the first evening to show me around. The cottage was warm and comfortable and there was a lovely little gift of 2 home grown eggs on the table. I enjoyed feeding some little treats to the chooks behind the cottage and the bird life who visited the house - there were some beautiful King Parrots who were there regularly every morning.

Cathryne2016-06-25T00:00:00Z

It was great staying at megs place, we were warmly greeted. Tea ,coffee wifi towels were all provided , clean environment and absolute privacy. A must for every one who is visiting canberra.

Meg was lovely, and the cottage is gorgeous, in a really nice part of the city. Highly recommended.

David2016-04-05T00:00:00Z

Meg was very welcoming and friendly. Her little cottage was just like the pictures. Meg provided an extensive range of food basics and the best eggs from her chooks I have ever tasted. Although I am a local actually living in Canberra I appreciated the lovely quite neighbourhood but close to bus and shops. Meg was also able to provide lots of local information which I f I had been a new visitor I would have really appreciated.

Brenda2016-01-19T00:00:00Z

What a lovely cottage in a great location. My husband and I stayed in Megs little cottage for two nights while on business in Canberra. We arrived late, the house was very easy to find and there were lights left on for us. The cottage is in a great location and was perfect for our stay. We will definetly stay in Megs cottage again on our next trip to Canberra. A great little gem.

Anna2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

Aptly described cottage. Very cosy and comfortable for my needs whilst in Canberra for work. Meg was a wonderful host and had the heater on in the cottage for my arrival. Fresh flowers from her garden in a vase on the table. Was really welcoming place to stay.

Lexie2016-09-21T00:00:00Z

We were welcomed warmly by Meg, she showed us around and gave us very helpful tips to get us around Canberra, The facilities were fine and the bed was comfortable. Overall it was a nice 2 days.

Dustin2016-01-31T00:00:00Z

Well-stocked place that was comfortable for us for a night. Lots of little food items available if you didn't make it to a grocery store, too. Meg was very nice, gave us a couple maps and pointed us to some good hikes that we hadn't considered.

It is a really nice and cozy room that has been renovated recently. This 2.85*2.87 room has a comfortable double size bed, high quality mattress, nice and spacious built-in wardrobes, study desk and a (URL HIDDEN) area includes kitchen, laundry, yard.
The room is just perfect for one person for business other travel purposes. It is only 1 minute walk to the bus stop going to the city and ANU.

Dana was nice host and was reachable anytime to offer help. Place is neat and is equipped with all the stuff needed daily. He also offered the bike for commute. Definitely a best place if you are planning for long or short term stay in Canberra as the place is close to shop's and restaurants.

Dana was friendly and the room is good for one person. Kitchen was well equipped but there was nowhere to sit down and eat.

Ashley2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

The room is nice, not "very" small like in the title - I would say it is just perfect for one person. I stayed there for 5 weeks for business and I felt comfortable. It is only 1 minute walk to the bus stop going to the city and ANU (or you could walk a bit further to another bus stop on Northbourne where the bus comes more often) and only 8 minutes walk to Dickson shops that has many restaurants and big supermarket (Woolworths) that opens until 11pm. I very often also rode a bike to my work place at ANU (only 15 minutes) or to Dickson Shops (only 4 minutes). The shared kitchen and bathroom are well-equiped and clean. Amenities are good. The high speed wifi is a big plus (I know that in some places you have to figure out the internet connection yourself). Dana is a good host: fun, easy to talk to, clear with house rules but not crazy strict (because this is a shared house I actually like it the the house rules are clear for everyone :-)), and very flexible on check in and check out time. I would highly recommend this place, either for short term of long term stay.

Bivitri2016-12-16T00:00:00Z

Dana's father is a very nice guy. He does not only help me to check in, but also offer a very good feast to me. This is the best time for me in all my airbnb homestay.

Xi2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

I really love my room. Although it's quite small but it's perfect for 1 person to stay just like me. It's even better since I'm a not so social and quiet person. The facilities here is good. Dana is very nice as well as the other house mates. He helped me a lot specially on the day I arrived. I feel appreciated for that :)

Ann2016-04-20T00:00:00Z

Dana and his father gave me a very warm welcome. I was even offered home made Persian food upon arrival! Lovely people, spacious room, comfy bed and everthing was very clean. Dana was quick to reply with any questions I had and really went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. All in all it was definitely one of my best airbnb experiences and I can thoroughly recommend it :-)!!! Thanks Dana and Mohammed!

Vanessa2017-01-08T00:00:00Z

The room is quiet and clean. There are bus stops nearby and easy to go to attractions like Parliament House and War Memorial. Dana is really a nice person. He is friendly and willing to help. If you come to Canberra for traveling and visiting, this room is a good choice.

A cosy bedroom in a ground floor apartment unit. Centrally located, with just a convenient five minute walk to the Dickson shops and restaurants and a short ten minute drive to both the City and EPIC- ideal for visitors to the nations capital.

If you stay with me you will have additional options for catered breakfast and/or dinner. There not be a menu for you to choose from, but I cook you breakfast or dinner to suit your budget and dietary requirements. I cook seasonally and ethically, with most of my ingredients coming from Canberra's wonderful Capital Region Farmers Market. You can get an idea of the kind of food I cook by visiting my blog: (URL HIDDEN) or searching Susan's Sumptuous Suppers on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN).
Breakfast options (including a selection of herbal tea and fair trade coffee):
- $5 basic (which may include muesli, porridge, or toast with local jam or other condiments)
- $10 mid range (may include french toast, scrambled eggs and parsley on toast, mushrooms on toast, or pancakes)
- $20 splurge breakfast (may include poached eggs with rocket and local smoked trout; or homemade rosti with eggs and dry cured bacon)
Dinner options include:
- $10 basic (may include a pasta dish such as spaghetti with bacon tomato and chilli; a filling salad; or a hearty bowl of home made soup)
- $20 mid range (if you are booked for a Tuesday night you can join my friends and I for Taco Tuesday which includes slow cooked meat with spices served in soft tortillas with a selection of seasonal accompaniments; otherwise this may include something like a selection of homemade curries)
- $30 dinner (will buy you top quality steak from locally raised heritage beef with a sauce and vegetables, a classy seafood dish such as saffron and scallop risotto, and possibly dessert)
- The ultimate splurge. If you go to my blog and like what you see. I'd be glad to cook a dinner suited to your own splurge budget. You tell me how much you want to spend and I'll cook you an appropriate multi-course dinner. Seasonal and appropriate ingredients may include local truffles, high grade beef, exotic mushrooms, free range pork, saltbush lamb.)

Due to family illness I never made it to Susan's. However I still intend to make the trip and Susan graciously offered to work out a deal with me.

I enjoyed staying here, Susan was very accomodating to all my needs and I enjoyed the apartments close proximity to local shops and restaurants.

Susan is a great, warm and hospitable host. The room was comfortable. Her place is in a nice neighborhood with easy access to stores and restaurants. I arrived 5 hours sooner than I told Susan but she was gracious and accommodating once I called her. She immediately returned from an outing to welcome me in.

Christine and Peter were fantastic hosts - always caring and available when we needed them during our 1-month stay. They even bought bycicles after learning that we would love to use a bike on and off! Amazing... The apartment is quiet and central, with a bus station, Dixon shops and restaurants, and a swimming pool in easy reach without a car. The pool was essential when temperatures approached 40°C during the 2016/17 Canberran summer. The apartment temperatures stayed bearable even during that time without aircon. Overall: a clear recommendation, especially with a kid or a third person in the second bedroom..

My place is close to the city centre (5km) and lots of parks. You’ll love my place because of the location, the space and the native garden. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and pets.
Free cafe quality coffee on request.
My house is in the inner north of Canberra, close to the bush reserve, and all amenities. We usually have lots of kangaroos close by, sometimes even in my front yard!
(Please read "other things to note" below if wanting to book a (welcome) dog, thanks!)

I like to think of my home as in the minimalist style... clutter is reduced, and I have nice local art throughout the house.
There is plenty of light and air.
I have quite a few books, too, and comfortable couches to read them on.

The house is located in probably the safest and quietest part of Canberra.
Only 5km from the city centre, and 500m from a bush reserve. Access from Sydney is easy and quick, off the Federal Highway.
There is a playground in my street.
The local (Hackett) shops are 900m away (a pleasant 10 minute walk), and include a small IGA for groceries and alcohol, a cafe / restaurant and Thai restaurant as well as bike mechanics and massage therapist.
For a larger choice, Dickson is 3km away, and has many more grocery stores and a street full of restaurants, including many Asian ones... it is known as the "China Town"of Canberra.
EPIC (Exhibition Park) where the National Folk Festival is held, is just over 3.5km away.
Canberra city is 5km away, and offers all the amenities of a major international city ;)

I had the pleasure to stay in Stu's home for one night. The location is out-of-the-busy-city and suited me perfect. It is very close to Mt Majura Nature Reserve, where I also tooka few walks in. It was just about 900 meters to walk to the local shopping center to get dinner. The dog is super friendly and I recommend anyone who has some kind off fear of dogs to meat this one. The room had a big bed, a big deap table and a wardrobe. During the night it was completely dark and completely quiet.

If you don't mind a few spiders here and there and a very soft mattress, you'll be fine. Stu is a nice guy and we enjoyed meeting him, his children and his dog.

My place is right in the heart of Dickson's restaurant hub with great dining and nightlife. Just near Northbourne Avenue it's great for public transport and close to EPIC (Summernats, Folk Festival, etc). You’ll love my place because of the location and convenience. Safe underground carpark and a short stroll to Dickson pool. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers or even small families.

Our second bedroom in an internal triangular room (with no windows). We can place a second bed into this space if you need it.

Dickson is famous in Canberra for its restaurants and nightlife. Feel free to check it out at (URL HIDDEN) In summer, the Dickson pool is only a 5 minute walk away. There are frequent buses into Civic from Northbourne Avenue and EPIC (Summernats, Folk Festival, etc.) is only 10 minutes away.

APARTMENT: Positives - reverse cycle a/c works well, modern dishwasher and washing machine, secure underground car parking. Negatives – internet connection is highly variable, furniture is basic, paintwork and carpet could do with some freshening up. HOSTS: Lori and Andrew are obliging and friendly.

Welcome to Katsura Haus, a detached secondary residence in a garden and bush setting in Canberra's convenient inner north. Passivhaus building components and design combine with Japanese touches inside and out to create a unique, comfortable and peaceful space. Local shops and public transport a short walk away. Exhibition Park, Mt Majura and the proposed light rail also within walking distance (10-15 minutes). The city and major cultural institutions are 10-15 minutes by car.

Katsura Haus is our spacious, new cottage guesthouse in the backyard of our house in the inner north central Canberra suburb of Watson. It is quirky, unique and very comfortable: East meets West brought forth in a fortuitous blend of perspiration and inspiration. It is an owner-built, completely detached and private garden apartment built to passivhaus standard. So the 'Haus' in 'Katsura Haus' is a nod to 'passivhaus'. The house has beautiful triple-glazed windows and doors throughout, offering outstanding insulative and sound-proofing properties to the building. The walls and roof have a very high levels of insulation and are wrapped tightly in advanced airtight membranes. In Canberra's harsh winter, of course, we still need some heating, but the need, and the cost, is much reduced.
The 'Kastura' in 'Katsura Haus' is a reference to a weeping katsura at the entrance to the cottage. We planted it when we first bought the main house in 1997. The tree is almost 20 years old but, due to its weeping form, is still only a relatively small four-metre tree. It now stands at the south-western corner of the newly built cottage as a bit of an obstacle that visitors and guests must navigate on their way to the entrance. But you will love its delicate pink-tinged leaf buds in spring and then the luxuriant vibrant lime green of the mass of heart-shaped leaves and heavy drooping foliage as summer approaches. The summer sun is very tough on the katsura and many of the top leaves tend to wither and dry as summer ends. It is probably why its autumn colour is limited to a yellowing of its sunburnt leaves rather than a range of autumnal tones associated with the tree.
The katsura is a Japanese tree and so the name of the guesthouse also alludes to the fundamental Japanese connection in our family and so in the design choices and influences. The Japanese touch is strongly evident both inside and outside the house. Inside the house we have antique dansu (chests) as major pieces of furniture and numerous decorative items. Of course, the Japanese bath will be a standout feature for those who have travelled in Japan and miss the pleasures of the ofuro. The colour palette of the exterior of the building is reminiscent of traditional Japanese kura (storehouses). The garden and landscaping also have many Japanese touches.
Katsura Haus is perfect for one or two people and so is limited to a maximum of two guests. It is a fully detached and self-contained spacious secondary residence of 65 square metres surrounded by private walkways, gardens, pergolas and outside spaces. Entry is separate and screened and, once inside, you are in another world: quiet, comfortable and inviting within, but intimately connected to the garden and adjacent heavily treed reserve via the feature corner windows. Direct access to the back reserve and the walking track can be gained via a lockable gate in the back fence.
Off-street visitor parking for one vehicle is available in the gravel driveway in front of the separate Katsura Haus entry. The entry gate and pathway(s) are separate from the main house and are, for the most part, flat and easily traversable. (There are two steps and the stone paving is a little uneven.) There is ample sensor security lighting to illuminate the pathway and entrance from the car-parking space all the way into the cottage. Adjacent to the path into the cottage is a dedicated bike port and a small storage hut. Guests are welcome to use the bikes and helmets and/or use the little storehouse for storage.
The front door of Katsura Haus opens directly into the large main room, a combination open plan living/dining/kitchen. With the filtered sun streaming in through the trees on a winter's morning, it is a spacious and light-filled room with quite a wow factor. The feature windows and door on the northern corner create a stunning conservatory atmosphere, integrating the building with the garden and adjacent bushland reserve. Full-length 3.25-m sheer curtains on the feature corner windows accentuate the generous vertical proportions of the room, and create a luxurious and cosy ambience in the evening (or the daytime, for that matter.)
The kitchen is relatively large, with ample bench and cupboard space, a full-size oven and gas cooktop. If guests intend to do some cooking they will need to adjust the building ventilation settings manually to 'party mode' in order to assist with the extraction of cooking smells. I will provide guests with information and a pre-stay briefing of the basic ventilation settings required for their stay. There is a small, separate laundry off the kitchen area with a washing machine, tub and additional cupboards.
The living area is configured into a cosy lounge and TV corner; a conservatory type sitting and reading area in front of the feature windows; and a dining table and chairs. There is a large-screen television with Telstra TV/Apple TV (YouTube, Netflix, SBS On Demand and ABC iView) and a DVD player. There is a good selection of DVDs, including Japanese titles. There is a quality bluetooth hifi system, so you can pair your mobile device easily and stream your own music. Katsura Haus is wifi enabled with, usually, good download speeds.
Katsura Haus has one compact bedroom with a QS bed, bedside tables and a built-in wardrobe. The bedroom has an ensuite toilet, shower and separate Japanese ofuro (bath) area. The sleeping and bathroom arrangements were designed for, and are suited to, a single resident or a couple. An extra futon (mattress bedding on the floor) can be provided where a separate bed is required, but the futon would need to be in the living room, forcing access to the bathroom for the second guest via the occupied bedroom.

Watson is an inner north suburb of Central Canberra established in about 1960. It has tree-lined streets of mature, mostly deciduous, trees and many parkland spaces. It also borders Majura reserve, and Katsura Haus faces directly onto parkland that connects to the reserve. The area has abundant, and at times raucous, birdlife (crimson and eastern rosellas, sulphur-crested cocktoos, galahs, king parrots, honeyeaters, currawongs and magpies being the most common) Possums are a regular sight. Kangaroos are abundant further up the walking track toward Mt Majura.
The local Watson shops are about 7 minutes on foot. There you will find a good supermarket, a Vietnamese and a Filipino restaurant, a takeaway, a very popular cafe, and a pharmacy/post office. You can catch buses here to Dickson (5 mins) and the city (10-15 mins).
A little further away but in close proximity (5 minutes by car) is the Dickson Centre, a major suburban shopping and restaurant precinct. The centre has a public library, a major Woolworths supermarket, banks, Harris Scarf, a newsagency, pharmacy and fast food outlets. The Woolley and Badham Street area is known as a 'Chinatown' restaurant precinct, but has a large number of restaurants, including those offering Indian, Lao, Malaysian, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese Turkish and Ethiopian cuisine. Many of these offer free home delivery for orders over a specified size. There are also a number of bars and the Tradesmen's Club.
In close proximity (8-10 mins walk) is Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) where regular events are held, including, for example, the National Folk Festival. The Saturday morning farmers market is a very popular regular event at the northern end of the EPIC complex, attracting a vast number of stallholders offering a wide variety of regional produce and specialty food items. It is a popular destination for breakfast and an easy walk down the back path.

In a location that is hard to beat, this beautifully presented home offers a fully self contained, well sized, light filled house, filled with all the essentials necessary for a comfortable stay.
Providing three large bedrooms, one bathroom, separate toilet, additional powder room, office, plus a double secure garage, the home comfortably accommodates up to 6 people with two queen size beds and two single beds. With excellent quality linen, the bedrooms are presented to a hotel standard.

Located in one of Canberra’s most central locations, the house is a 2 minute walk from the Dickson centre. Dickson’s layout is as a pedestrian area with a village square feel without a mall. It has a plethora of dining options and shops including a large Woolworths. Dickson is home to Canberra’s Chinatown, although this area has diversified to include Indian, Ethiopian, Italian, Japanese and South-east Asian restaurants as well.
There are many active options close by including one of Canberra's most established gyms that also has squash courts. There are numerous parks and playing ovals nearby as well as Canberra's famous cycle paths. Literally a stones throw away is the Dickson Aquatic Centre. Set amongst beautiful shady trees, with beach volleyball courts, a massage centre, café and free car parking, it is a great place for a summer cool down and to have a BBQ on the grounds.

This house is beautiful and walking distance from the Dickson shops.

A great house- lots of space, clean and welcoming. Checkin was a breeze with Brent meeting us at the door. House is in a great location to all attractions in Canberra. Thank you

A lovely, stylish clean home and friendly accommodating host. We have two children with special needs and a baby, this was our first Airbnb experience and we'll be back. Having a home instead of a motel room was wonderful. The personal touches by the host just added to the experience. Excellent new kitchen, clean bathroom, plenty of space for the kids to roam. Very private outdoor areas with a well established garden. Highly recommend to everyone.

Debbie's house was wonderful. It was very neat and tidy and had everything we needed. The house is lovely and renovated and the central heating was wonderful as it got colder. We had 4 adults and a toddler and there was plenty of room for everyone very comfortably. Debbie was great to communicate with. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Debbie's house is very homey and comfortable, in a quiet street. There is lots of space and a well-equipped kitchen, and we appreciated the nice Sukin bathroom products. Some great eateries and supermarket are a short walk away. We enjoyed our stay very much...thanks Debbie!
